Only One Click Away…

According to the International Energy Agency, the power sector is responsible for 37% of the CO2 equivalent emissions worldwide. For appliances, electronics, and lighting - making up around one third of this sector - the energy efficiency savings potential is roughly 50 per cent. WWF supports Topten, an international network promoting clean technologies and energy efficient appliances, and cars . Currently, seventeen European countries, China and the USA are part of Topten.

RON TAYLOR AND THE SHIFTING BASELINE

Ron Taylor has not been well recently and is now very ill. The short movie 'Shifting Baselines' that I just received this week shows how Ron visits the marine national park in Indonesia with some of the most famous "Diving Hall of Fame golden oldies" and some younger professionals. This may have been the last expedition they undertook together as group of underwater filmers, photographers and passionate ocean activists.

My challenge to the Earth Hour community

Earth Hour’s challenge is no longer to connect people; the challenge is to offer a reason to connect. Any movement of change begins with symbolism - it’s a needed step to prove enough people care about an issue.

Earth Hour is past the beginning now, and lots of people are switching their lights off every year in March. We’re now at the stage of taking it beyond the hour.

I’m personally inspired by what I see happening around the world connected to Earth Hour, and the hour of “lights out” will always be a real moment of motivation for me.
